1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,270
it was always the proper mission of
2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,000
feminism to attack and reconstruct the
3
00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:11,190
ossified social practices, that had led
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,759
to wide ranging discrimination against
5
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:17,070
women, but surely it was, and is possible
6
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:19,260
for a progressive reform movement to
7
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:22,650
achieve that, without stereotyping,
8
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:24,630
belittling or demonizing men. History
9
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:27,630
must be seen clearly and fairly.
10
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:30,359
Obstructive traditions arose, not from
11
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:33,120
men's hatred or enslavement of women, but
12
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:34,739
from the natural division of labor, that
13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,410
had developed over thousands of years,
14
00:00:34,739 --> 00:00:40,589
during the agrarian period, and that once
15
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:42,540
immensely benefited and protected women,
16
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:44,670
permitting them to remain at the heart,
17
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:47,339
to care for helpless infants and
18
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:49,950
children. Over the past century it was
19
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:52,980
labor-saving appliances invented by men
20
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:55,230
and spread by capitalism, that liberated
